If you want to shutdown your computer, you will also need the '-h' flag. The default behaviour for shutdown is to switch to runlevel 1, see shutdown(8). # This will halt/poweroff your system immediately: $ /sbin/shutdown -h now > I try then next /etc/crontab: > ----------------------------- > # m h dom mon dow user<>command > > 29 21<->* * * root<---->/sbin/shutdown now > ----------------------------- > > There was no expected effect again. > > syslog: > ----------------------------- > Feb 15 21:29:01 fc3 /usr/sbin/cron[3464]: (*system*) RELOAD (/etc/crontab) > Feb 15 21:30:01 fc3 /usr/sbin/cron[3464]: (*system*) RELOAD (/etc/crontab) > ----------------------------- That is indeed strange. Which one of the edits added the above rule in /etc/crontab? If it was the second one, you probably just missed it, time-wise. Could you modify the rule in-place (just change minute and hour) to two minutes after begin editing, and try it again? We had a whitespace bug in the parsing code previously, but that one should have been fixed. Regards, Christian
